踊りが下手なhandsome
Your copulation
Is dirtier than money.
Unprincipled strategist
乱用middle aged spread
ブラウン管の隅で天狗気分さ
Please disappear because it is
You were born from the mouth?
節穴に売る媚びしか無い
Your copulation
Is dirtier than money.
Unprincipled strategist

半狂乱な餓鬼はびしょ濡れさ
Please disappear because it is
An eyesore
It fails together if
Going atraight
Curtain of wine red 識別出来ぬ
流されるまま 踊る夢
左右に倣う 歪 masquerade
飾れば靡く愛に
溺れる今の君に
群がるのは一瞬の共鳴
温室崩れのprince
後頭部にシャンデリア
廃れたその日 共鳴はhyena
You were born from the mouth?
節穴に売る媚びしか無い

The lyrics of Hyena by the GazettE is a critique on society and the people who use it to their own advantage. The song is about those who are ugly on the inside, and that their actions are far dirtier than any amount of money. The song also touches on the fact that people will do anything to get what they want, even if it means using others or manipulating the system. The lyrics speak of people who are unprincipled, middle-aged, and have a sense of entitlement. The chorus is a plea for them to disappear because their actions are an eyesore.
The second verse takes a shot at the same people and suggests that they were born from deceitful places and only know how to flatter others to get what they want. The verses repeat the same criticisms, as the chorus becomes more desperate for these individuals to disappear. The bridge of the song speaks of a prince who is decaying in his greenhouse, with a chandelier lodged in the back of his head. The final line of the song suggests that when society fails, it will resemble hyenas.
The song's core message is that people should look beyond appearances, and don't be fooled by those who hide their true intentions.
